Cafe in Auckland

“Fabulous coffee and lovely guy!”

“Great vibe, food is delicious! Language can’t describe how good the dumplings are - we’ve finished them before taking the photo!”

“5 Stars! The food here was incredible! and the service was just as good! Would recommend to everyone who is in the area!!!”

“Had a quick coffee and a spinach & feta muffin — both were delicious! The service was friendly and efficient, and everything was clean and well presented. A lovely spot for a quick break with great atmosphere and excellent service.”

“What a great place to discover. This friendly bar and restaurant about 60 metres from Waiwera beach has the relaxed beach vibe in abundance. Inside there is a restaurant end with about 8 tables, then there is a bar area which opens into a covered outdoor area with pool table and pizza bar with wood fired pizzas. Service was friendly and functional and the business seems to be family run. Food was excellent. Best lamb shank I’ve had in ages with excellent flavours. Prawn salad was also very good. Beer was ice cold and they had a good collection of spirits as well as smoothies and non-alcoholic drinks. I think for me the relaxed atmosphere was what I enjoyed the most - like stepping into some place you’ve known all your life and instantly relaxing. Waiwera town feels a bit run down but the history with the hot pools (now closed) is interesting and it has retained its sleepy charm. If you’re going to Wenderholm consider lunch or dinner at Sugarloaf beach bar.”

“Great cafe with consistently impressive coffee and a welcoming atmosphere. The team here know their craft well — every cup is smooth, balanced, and made with care. The service is prompt, friendly, and professional, making it an easy place to stop in whether you’re grabbing a quick takeaway or sitting down for a break. The space is clean, comfortable, and well-presented. Overall, a reliable spot for quality coffee and great service. Highly recommended.”

“Excellent service. Excellent food quality. Everything here went above our expectations. Ribs, Chicken Buckets, Chicken & Waffles and Steak meals were all perfect! Outstanding jus with the steak.”

“This was one of one the better evenings out I've had in a while! The food was delicious, the drinks were refreshing and tasted amazing. The service was outstanding, the servers who were looking after us were attentive, friendly, and made the visit enjoyable along with a few a laughs! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing evening on the Viaduct (or a fun evening later into the night)!”

“I can only rate the bar and the meal, as we didn't stay at their accommodation. Although the restaurant was closed, we were able to order at the bar. The bar was very busy, but the staff took our order and brought our drinks promptly to us. We both ordered the chicken parmigiana and were very happy with it. The serving size was more than enough, and we felt the wait really wasn't that long at all, especially considering how busy they were. I'd be happy to return again the next time I'm in Auckland.”

“Amazing place! We ate here twice on our stay in NZ. Coffee was great and food was delicious! Very attentive staff. We ended up sharing a plate the second morning. Servings are generous. Thank you guys so much to adding to our amazing stay in Auckland.”

“Had dinner here the other night here indulging in some quality food. Never dissapoints with service everytime I come here. I ordered the king prawns, oysters, brocollini, flounder and eye fillet to share with my mother and we both left satisfied. Great value too if you have accorsplus so you can benefit from the dining discounts.”

“Had a grab one voucher for a dinner for 2. Was absolutely amazing! Food was great! Not too busy! Very quick service! Definitely going back”

“Food is yummy, need more sauce on kebab, not a huge range of sauce available either”

“Hubby and I ordered a Mocha and a cappuccino. I was thankful the lady taking my order was able to deliver a Mocha with less syrup than usual. The cinnamon roll was delicious as always. Service was little slower than I would expect with two staff on hand and minimal/few customers, but I'm guessing this was just an onboarding moment.”

“Had a delicious dinner. The scotch fillet steak was cooked perfectly and was a very large portion size. Excellent service lovely ambient atmosphere. Food came out super quick!! Highly recommend”

“Enjoyed a Saturday lunch with family. Fish and chips were good and the burgers were great. Good wine selection. Very reasonable prices and nice portions as well. The venue setup is basic but comfortable and with lovely harbour views. Service could have been a bit more personable but no complaints.”

“Great staff. Lovely vibe every single day. Stella on tap. Also my favourite pub to play darts and pool.”

“Just like any other bar, however owners have really put in the effort to clean and redecorate it, looks so much more welcoming.”

“The food and coffee was great, the only complaint is we could taste onion on my French toast and my mum could taste it in her pancakes but apart from that, it was good.”

“Great service, the lady here really cares about customers, we felt welcomed. Food and coffee are are delicious. We will come back.”

“Chelsea is a wonderful host. Her team are upbeat and friendly and nothing is a problem to them. Love the banter and the vibe, and by the way the food and drinks go down a treat too. Thank you Chelsea”

“I decided to try The Cut and found their lunch special. The staff was very accommodating with my preferences and allergies, I'm pretty sure the chef checked on me. I told him it was nice to get a cheeseburger with crispy bacon and while the burger was messy it as very good. I also enjoyed the side salad of spinach, cabbage and cucumber that was very good and crunchy. I didn't want potatoes usually served along side and it was a good decision. I was only able to eat half my burger before I had to leave because of my allergies. I enjoyed the other half a couple hours later after it had set and wasn't so messy and the remainder of the burger for dinner. I really enjoyed this burger and can leave Auckland sastified.”

“Bloody great service. Great vibe albeit a bit quiet as we exit our COVID-19 protocols. But that means there's plenty of space and dude on the bar was happy, helpful and onto it. The space is cool. Just for a minute I let myself think I wasn't in NZ. Amy business trying to make it to the other side of Coronavirus is doing their best. I was the first customer in two days... Then a large group walked in behind me. Kudos to small business owners hanging in there.”

“Beautiful views and the staff are very compensating. We walked in with no reservation and luckily it wasn't busy. I'd suggest making a booking before arriving. We only stayed for a pre dinner drink but we will have to go back again to experience the place more.”

“Staffs were very very kind.He informed to me how to top up the card and order. Beverage is perfect ♡ Thanks Happy new year”

“This is a restaurant I’ve loved for many years. Every time I feel like having a beer and mussels, this is the first place that comes to mind. The tap beer is my favorite, and the mussels are always fresh and delicious. I had a great time on Mother’s day here again. Highly recommended!”

“Great service - really enjoyed the Soup of the day - potato and Ham. Comfortable place with a good atmosphere. totally recommend.”

“We have been here a few times for breakfast. Fast service. The food has always been very good. I can be very busy mid mornings.”

“came in with the family for Sunday lunch. absolutely loved the ambience and the service by Pooja and her team. the variety of the food did not disappoint, and the prompt delivery of meals was a delight. no compromise on taste either. overall, a wonderful experience and definitely a place to visit more and more. hats off to Pooja and her team for such a wonderful time.”
